Cala Mayor Construction Site Report 3

The last few weeks, our construction site meetings in Cala Mayor have been, let’s say, demanding. I had relied on an architect for the execution planning. And then I was left high and dry.

By now it has become quite a nice crew. Marked by a slight cynicism in view of the recurring “things” or “mistakes”. It’s hard to understand how they happened at all …

But when I arrived today, I was surprised. HOLGER, the construction company, had gone all in and had already installed the plasterboard cladding. And the terrace now had a floor.

Then, in the first bathroom, we realized that large-format tiles had been pulled up almost two meters high. When was the last time I saw that? Either way—off with the stuff again. Microcement was the keyword then. And decidedly less “slaughterhouse design”.

In the next bathroom, we found that the shower wasn’t really accessible because the toilet had been planned in the way. We looked at each other. And Elena knew she had something to do.

I was positively surprised again by the ceiling height, which we had discussed a lot over the last few weeks. We start in the entrance area with 2.35 m, which then opens up to about 2.75 m. And in the area of the bedrooms, bathrooms, and the small corridor we reach a full 2.55 m. And everywhere. We’ll nicely achieve our design language of reduced lines.

So, to sum up: We’re still waiting for samples of the air-conditioning diffusers. And from the windows, since we’ll match the shade to the existing metalwork on the façade. But if the delivery times don’t throw too nasty a spanner in the works, we might even finish on time!

So, honestly and without marketing glasses: I’ve never seen an apartment with views like these. And from every room, too. Not to mention the roof terrace… This is absolutely unique and an absolute dream home!
